IoT - Definition

• An evolving convergent Internet of things and servicesthat is available anywhere, anytime as part of an all-pervasive omnipresent socio–economic fabric, made upof converged services, shared data and an advancedwireless and fixed infrastructure linking people andmachines to provide advanced services to business andcitizens – Future Internet Report 2011

• The basic idea of the IOT is that virtually every physicalthing in this world can also become a computer that isconnected to the Internet - Prof. Dr. Elgar Fleisch

Trends in Support of IoT

• Cost of H/W

– ENIAC in 1945 – 500K USD

– Avg. computer today – 500 USD

• Smaller in size and less weight is needed to incorporate computational power into devices

– ENIAC in 1945 – 1800 sqft, 27 tons

– Avg computer today (laptop) – 0.05 sqft, less than 3 pounds

Trends in Support of IoT

• Growth in computational power– Most of the IoT devices need computational power

and speed• Speech to text conversation, ability to process audio, ability

to communicate– ENIAC 1945, 5000 IPS– Avg computer today – 18 billion IPS

• Internet availability• Available in most parts of the world• Wireless access (mobile phones, Wi-Fi)• Access to Internet becoming cheaper• Bandwidth is increasing

• Adoption Vs. Usage

The Problem

• Three most common challenges to IoTAdoption (Jerry, 2016) : Microsoft Research

– Long time to value

– Scalability

– Difficulty customizing IoT projects

• (Fishbein & Ajzen, 1975)

• Technology Acceptance Model (Davis, 1989)

• Technology Acceptance Model 2 (Venkatesh & Davis, 2000)

• Extended Technology Acceptance Model

Forget about IoT

Internet of People

• Falling in love with robots?

• Why would someone choose to be in a relationship with a robot instead of a human?
